Package: ncurses-bin
Version: 6.2+20210905-1
Severity: minor

The clear(1) man page says:

  clear clears your screen if this is possible, including its
  scrollback buffer (if the extended “E3” capability is defined).

but when the current screen is the alternate screen, the
scrollback buffer still corresponds to the main screen (and
not to the alternate screen). So the "its" is inaccurate and
should be replaced by "the" to match the observed behavior:

  clear clears your screen if this is possible, including the
  scrollback buffer (if the extended “E3” capability is defined).
